What is LaravelUi5?

LaravelUi5 is a lightweight SDK and runtime environment that bridges the gap between Laravel and OpenUI5, allowing developers to build modern, enterprise-grade web applications with a clean separation of frontend and backend responsibilities.

It's a production-ready integration layer to run SAP OpenUI5 frontends seamlessly on Laravel backends. Full support for SAP-compliant Security Token Handling (X-CSRF-Token), OData v4 services via flat3/lodata, and hybrid UI5 + Laravel APIs.

LaravelUi5 was built to bridge the worlds of enterprise-grade UI5 frontends and modern Laravel application backends. With simplicity, security, and full SAP compatibility in mind.

At its core, LaravelUi5 enables you to:

• Develop OpenUI5 apps independently while seamlessly integrating them into a Laravel backend.
• Support efficient OpenUI5 application workflows for both development and production, with a clear path from local development to deployable builds.
• Use Laravel for data models, APIs, authentication, and backend logic — while OpenUI5 handles the user interface, following SAP Fiori design principles if desired.
• Migrate from legacy SAP Gateway or Java stacks to Laravel/PHP
• Deliver SAP UX with modern Laravel-based flexibility and cost efficiency

It’s ideal for developers who want to:

• Combine the robustness and developer-friendliness of Laravel with the powerful UI capabilities of OpenUI5.
• Build business apps without needing a full SAP stack or SAP BTP.
• Follow a clean architecture that supports scale, testing, and modularity.

LaravelUi5 is open, framework-agnostic on the frontend, and designed with progressive adoption in mind.
